Lin Yin snorted and said, “In that case, what Xiluo suffered was nothing more than what she once inflicted on others. It’s not unjust. But why would such a person choose to commit suicide? Was it voluntary, or was there someone behind it?”
Mu Heng knew what Lin Yin meant. Mu Ran had a lot of resources in the entertainment industry. If Mu Ran fell, it would benefit many male celebrities of the same type. In addition, maybe it was set up by the person behind the scenes.
Mu Heng said, “We’re still investigating. At the moment, we haven’t found out that someone instigated Xiluo to use suicide to drag Mu Ran down.”
“Then we’ll keep these things for now. After we investigate and find out the truth, we’ll get someone to expose it and restore third brother’s reputation.” Lin Yin said.
Mu Ran thought about it all night and posted a post in the early morning: Thank you for letting me see the light in the dark and have the courage to continue forward.
Mu Ran’s words gave the fans hope, so the Internet was filled with joy. Everyone was guessing if Mu Ran’s news meant that there was a possibility of him coming back.
However, under the eager anticipation of the fans, something unexpected happened to Xiluo again.
Su Su and Feng Yu said to Lin Yin with pale faces, “Someone accidentally found a corpse in the river. According to the police investigation, they found that Xiluo had thrown unknown things into the river several times before she committed suicide.”
Lin Yin frowned. “You mean, Xiluo killed someone? Who?”
Feng Yu’s voice was filled with fear as she said, “According to the police’s investigation, it’s said that it should be Xiluo’s parents. Moreover, the time of death was two years ago. In other words, Xiluo’s parents didn’t go overseas at all but died for two years. In the past two years, Xiluo had frozen her parents’ corpses in the fridge. Now, it’s spread throughout the school. It’s too terrifying. Xiluo’s insane.”
“The point is, according to the police’s inquiries of the neighbors, the reason Xiluo killed her parents is most likely because her parents were unhappy with how much she spent chasing celebrities. That’s why they had a big fight two years ago. The neighbors haven’t seen Xiluo’s parents since.”
“Xiluo told others that her parents were angry and went overseas, so no one cared. No one expected that Xiluo killed them. Now, many netizens are complaining about the danger of chasing celebrities and pointing all the blame at Brother Ran. They thought that Brother Ran instigated his fans to do it,” Su
Su said anxiously.
Lin Yin thought of the big fridge at Xiluo’s house. No wonder Xiluo needed such a big fridge even though she lived alone. It was used to freeze corpses.
However, no matter how insane Xiluo was, it had nothing to do with her. She was afraid that Mu Ran would be attacked.
No matter how outstanding an actor was or how popular a celebrity was, if they were involved in such a thing, it could never be cleared up.
It was obvious that Su Su knew the consequences. She looked at Lin Yin anxiously and said, “Yinyin, what should we do? It wasn’t easy for Brother Ran to loosen up, but such a thing happened. Aren’t they trying to force Brother Ran to leave the industry completely?”
Lin Yin said coldly, “A life for a life. The murderer isn’t Mu Ran. What are you afraid of?”
Su Su naturally knew this, but she still muttered worriedly, “Seriously, how can such a thing be related to Brother Ran? Xiluo was insane and killed her parents. How can it be related to Brother Ran? If it’s like this, I used to peep at muscular men showering. So I can blame Brother Ran and say that it’s because of Brother Ran that I’m a pervert?”
“You’ve seen muscular men take a shower?” Feng Yu looked at Su Su in disbelief.
“Feng Yu, shouldn’t you focus on Brother Ran being slandered for no reason? Seriously,” Su Su said angrily.
Feng Yu said awkwardly, “These celebrities are born to live under the spotlight. It’s not the first or second time they’ve been slandered. It’s not surprising. It’s more exciting watching a muscular man shower!”
Although Su Su knew that what Feng Yu said was true, she was still angry.
After Mu Ran’s fans found out about Xiluo, they were also very confused. However, in order not to cause trouble for Mu Ran, all the fans tacitly posted that they trusted Brother Ran.
Mu Xiao looked at the reports online and frowned. “Even a murder case can be blamed on Mu Ran. I’m so done.”
Mu Heng sighed slightly and smiled. “Fame can be a double-edged sword! The winds howl around the highest peaks.”
Mu Xiao also shook his head. “We should deal with this matter properly. After all, we used Mu Ran to advertise some time ago. If Mu Ran gets involved in such a disgusting thing, our brand will be criticized in the future..”
